Since its launch in 2010 the Foundation’s Community Grant program has provided over $500,000 in funding for local projects and programs.

In 2015 the Community Foundation launched a Strategic Grants program which uses a different model and has a different time frame from our Community Grants Program.

Annually the Community Foundation opens its grant  rounds for eligible applicants to apply. More information about the process is made available closer to the rounds opening.
